The most profound scene in Mr. Robot is actually within the first 15 minutes when you, the viewer, is led to believe, at first, that Elliot is in it for the money

We quickly find out, however, that Elliot could give a fuck less about the money

If you’re very good at spotting diagnostic criteria, you know that Elliot has a co-morbid dx of both DID and OCD

The only reason this is important to you, the viewer, is to help you grasp two things 1) Elliot is neurobiologically wired (as a result of trauma) to be hauntingly good at hacking

But more importantly, the OCD makes him both obsessive and compulsive

Which means that Elliot. Can’t. Stop.

So, rather than hurt innocent people, Elliot pursues the scum of the Earth (like the child predator we see get arrested in the first 15 minutes of the show)

This has nothing to do with anything except that Mr. Robot is one of my favorite tv shows because almost no one actually understands it.

But I do because I appreciate art that displays surgical like precision.
